Abstract: Device and process for the production and packaging of material web rolls. The device includes a slitting station configured to slit a material web into a plurality strips and a winding bed adapted to accommodate a stack of individual material web rolls next to one another. Also included is a packaging web dispenser adapted to travel, in at least one direction, parallel to the axis of the stack of individual material web rolls, and further adapted to dispense a packaging web at a predetermined angle to a circumferential direction of rotation of the stack of individual material web rolls. Additionally, a cutting device adapted to cut the packaging web parallel to the end faces of the material web roll is provided. The process of the invention includes helically wrapping the web rolls with a packaging web and cutting the packaging web at each position corresponding to the end faces of the material web rolls with the aid of the cutting device.

Abstract: Reel winding roll that includes a core and an elastic surface layer positioned on the core. The roll also includes surface orifices formed on the elastic surface layer, air gathering spaces that are sealed at least in the circumferential direction, and channels arranged to couple the surface orifices to the air gathering spaces. The process includes guiding a moving web over a circumferential portion of the reel winding roll, and receiving, in the air gathering spaces, air entrained by the moving web. The entrained air is guided to the air gathering spaces through the surface orifices and the channels.
